Illustrated by
Amy June Bates.
In this story loosely based on Psalm 92, a boy lists the things he's thankful for as family and friends gather for a celebratory meal. Bates's autumn-hued watercolor illustrations with visible sketch outlines are serviceable but undistinguished; Wilson's text features a soft, bland rhyme and lots of sensory details.
